Eric, As John pointed out on Dec 10 it was the ADs and technical advisors that (reluctantly) recommended that the WG abandon the requirements document. While the initial process that lead to the requirements draft where quite useful by developping a common way to talk about things and a common understanding of the issues around the DNS, it isn't obvious to me that investing the WG cycles to get closure on all aspects of the requirements draft would be worth the effort. I yet haven't seen an email explaining how the WG would *use* a requirements document moving forward given that the document hasn't been used as a reference when analysing proposals so far. (The requirements in the document have been used but not by actually referring to the document.) Erik
